One more skiing option while staying on the Kenai Peninsula. If you’re near Soldotna, give Headquarters Lake a try. Great 3.5k groomed (most of the time) track on the surface of the lake, probably the best place on the peninsula to stretch out and work on your form.

Find your way to the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge’s visitor center (just south of Soldotna), and park. You can either walk or ski to the lake (about 300 yds) depending on the snow. Watch the trip through the woods down to the lake, the snow can get hard, and the trails narrow — little room for error correction.

Great stuff.
